Summer Wedding Celebration
The team at Soirée Productions is so excited to tell you one of our favorite weddings will be featured in Inside Weddings Magazine. This wedding had great detail and was fun from beginning to end. The save the dates were vintage postcards of the bride and groom created by Nine Grain Design. We created a logo that would be carried out throughout the entire wedding. The welcome celebration kicked off the weekend with a BBQ at Silver Lake Lodge in Deer Valley, while the wedding nuptials were celebrated at Empire Canyon Lodge. The evening began to look like it might rain on our parade but then suddenly the sun came out and shined upon all of the guests. The bride and groom were married under the Chuppah and as they recessed down the aisle guests sprinkled lavendar to wish them well. Following the ceremony guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the deck. Everyone danced the night away to music provided by the Salamander Band. The room was filled with long rectangular tables for 8-16 guests while floral topped each table with a variety of arrangements. We worked with Val Rasmussen of StellaPosy to finish each table top perfectly. Each place setting highlighted square chargers and china we found at Diamond Rental. Sarah Drown of Sparkle Photography captured the day and tells the story with her photographs. Our team at White Couture helped the bridesmaids to select their perfect Vera Wang dress all in the purple and navy hues. Each bridesmaid selected the style that worked best for her and with a variety of styles it was easy to do. The evening concluded with a midnight snack for guests to enjoy on their ride home-the sliders and french fries were a big hit! Everything about this wedding came together perfectly. We chose to submit it to share nationally because our planners felt this wedding showed what you can do while still keeping your budget within reason. Not a detail was left out and mom and dad were pleased with the budget! Thank you for allowing Soirée Productions to assist you in planning the perfect celebration!

Winter Weddings | Soirée Productions | Park City
Tuesday, April 6th, 2010This winter wonderland wedding designed and coordinated by Soirée Productions is one of our favorites. The snow was perfect and the bride couldn’t have been more beautiful. Empire Canyon Lodge in Deer Valley looked amazing with the white flowers provided by Orchid Dynasty in Salt Lake City. The candle light and gorgeous shining crystals dressed up the lodge for a winter theme. The candy station was a big hit and the guests danced all night. During cocktail hour guests were invited to ride the horse drawn sleigh with their hot peppermint paddy drinks-hot cocoa with peppermint liquor and homemade whipped cream all topped with shaved peppermint! Sarah Drown of Sparkle Photo captured every detail and memory of this beautiful celebration. We wish the bride and groom and lifetime of happiness. Thanks for allowing Soirée Productions to be a part of such a wonderful day!
Hindu Cultural Wedding Celebration| Soirée Productions | Park City

Including family and cultural traditions in your wedding celebration is not only meaningful but it certainly makes every aspect of your wedding personal! There are so many traditions a bride and groom can incorporate. We always browse the internet to make sure we understand the customs and traditions too! Many times couples raised in the United States are not familiar with their own traditions so it is important that we research and understand the meaning behind everything. The internet is an amazing world of it’s own isn’t it?
Recently our team of Soirèe Productions Wedding Planners coordinated and designed a Hindu Wedding in the mountains. Our couple is from New York but share a love for skiing and Park City so what better to place to tie the knot then the Stein Eriksen Lodge in Deer Valley on Valentine’s Day. Our designers worked together with Val Rasmussen at StellaPosy to incorporate so many aspects from the bride’s culture. In a two-hour long ceremony the bride and groom were married under a Mandap (similar to a Chuppah or Altar). The ceremony was so beautiful and meaningful the time slipped by. The guests danced all night to traditional Indian music provided by one of our favorite DJ’s Craig Chambers of Disc-Connection who also included modern American tunes at the brides’ request. The decor was sensational! Soirèe Productions’ unique linen inventory and beautiful chargers completed the table decor. A big thank you to Diamond Rental of Salt Lake City who polished up and painted gold Chavari chairs to make them brand new for our client. We borrowed pieces of an outdoor iron gazebo available at Diamond Rental and added our own fabric, 2×4’s and Val’s expertise and created what our Hindu Priest referred to as “the most beautiful Mandap he has ever seen.” Finding an existing Mandap in Utah is no easy task so we built our own! The lighting around the room provided a glow in the wedding colors and the custom GOBO with the bride and groom’s monogram was a touch that should never be overlooked. I can’t stress enough how important lighting is to your event! It was indeed our pleasure to put our creativity to work and bring the bride’s family traditions to Park City! Thanks to Nick Sokoloff Photography we have beautiful images to share with you. Our next blog post will include video footage by Remember When Films of this memorable event.

Lindsey and Thomas Vonn on their Wedding Day!
I have been a Lindsey Vonn fan ever since she walked into White Couture in 2007 to shop for her wedding gown. Officially Lindsey Kildrow at the time, she was as kind and she is beautiful. It was our pleasure to assist Lindsey with her gown fitting. Of course she looked great in every gown she tried on. Once Lindsey tried on Judd Waddell’s collection, we knew she had found her dress. Lindsey chose a gorgeous Judd Waddell ballgown and a fingertip veil with just a light scatter of sparkle by Erin Cole. She truly looked like a princess in a fairy tale. Her ivory gown was made of duchess satin with a touch of lace. Lindsey’s wedding was held at the Deer Valley Resort; she was glowing like the night snow.
They're Married!

Tip Tuesday | Jazz Up Your First Dance
Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009 
A first dance is what we traditionally use to kick off the party. I want to show you how much fun you can have with your first dance if you invest in a few dance lessons and choreograph a dance to make your first a special one. You don’t have to be a pro to look like a pro. Our clients shown in these photos took the time to learn some fancy foot work and choreograph a dance to Bye Bye Birdie, a song that was the bride’s grandmother’s favorite. Grandma sang this song to the bride growing up. In her grandmother’s absense (she passed away last year) she decided to dedicate her First Dance to her memory and was introduced to the dance floor with her groom to this special tune and a few facts about her grandmother. Apparently her grandmother was a fun, vivacious woman who could make everyone feel great about themselves.
The Joe Muscolino Band learned this special tune and played it perfectly at the reception. The bride and groom brought smiles to the guests faces as they entered the room. They filled the dance floor with every step they took. Guests cheered them on as this was an unexpected treat. When we asked the bride and groom how it felt to make this a special dance, they both agreed it was time well spent to learn the dance! They looked like pros and according to the groom this was very out of character for him. You would have never known they weren’t pros. If you think you might like to choreograph your first dance, consider calling Marjene Anderson in Salt Lake City (801) 530-1335. She is one of the best and has assisted many of our clients in making their dance a special one! There are many song titles that work well for a first dance, father-daughter, and mother-son dance. Make sure you select one that is right for you or has a special meaning. You’ll look back one day and remember the moment, I guarantee it!
If you choreograph a first dance, be sure to use your showmanship.
